If you`re hooking an HDMI device INTO a tv, then you`re using up an HDMI input, in other words, putting video and audio INTO the TV. Optical audio, however, is an output, meaning, you`re taking audio OUT of the tv. So yes, optical is meant to be used in conjunction with HDMI, as the TV is the receiver of these audio devices, and the TV then sends its audio out through the optical cable into your stereo receiver.
